Is there a way to distinguish between types of messages sent to an Android Handler? For example, I have 2 background threads and would like the handler to recognize which thread a message came from.

I am using an Executor [fixed thread pool] with my own ThreadFactory that adds a Looper:
CODE:...............
I am running a thread that makes network requests but if the network fails I would like a dialog message to be displayed to the user. This process is rather involving since it requires making AND displaying the request in the UI thread. I can wait for the user's response to the dialog by simply adding a Loop to the network thread and wait for a message to be send from the UI thread. This allows me to encapsulate the network requests in a while(tryAgain) thread. All works well except when the Looper.loop() method is called the second time (after a second network error dialog is displayed) and a message is sent by the dialog (in the UI thread) to the network thread's handler:
CODE:.............
In the AlertDialog instance is an OnClickListener:
CODE:...............
I've checked that the thread is still active with handler.getLooper().getThread().isAlive() which always returns true but it still gives me "sending message to a Handler on a dead thread". How is it that the Message/Handler has decided that the thread is dead? Shouldn't it rely on the .isAlive() method? In the end I am trying to avoid replicating the thread management build into the Android OS .
I have to post messages from one process to another process by using handler .
I am using Handler.post/Handler.sendMessage but i am not getting those messages in another process. I am not getting any exceptions also.
Is it possible to sent messages across processes using Handler?
If it is the case how can i do it?
My Problem is that I need to send messages with a delay of 1 second. The handler then initiates some action, you're getting the picture. There are nevertheless some conditions in which the already sent message should be deleted ( before the second elapsed ) to prevent the handler from doing anything. I couldn't figure out how to do this ( or if it's even possible ), so If anyone of you has a clue, please let me know.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm a brand new member here. I am a long-time and loyal Blackberry user. While several people over at the Crackberry forums are anxiously and excitedly awaiting the "new" CDMA device coming from RIM, I'm a little bored by the release of My Current Phone v.1.1. I like MCP v1.0 quite a bit, but I'm losing faith in RIM's ability to set an industry standard.
Anyway, I'm almost certain I'm going to be picking up the EVO when it's released next month. I've been doing lots of research lately, and I'm pretty excited about all that this phone and the Android OS have to offer.
One feature that I absolutely love and worry I won't be able to live without is my universal or combined--or whatever you want to call it--inbox. In terms of my interactions with my contacts on my blackberry, I do one of two things:
1. I start typing their name, hit menu when I've get their name highlighted, and select the action I want to do (call, sms, mms, instant message, facebook, etc.), or
2. I open my inbox where absolutely anything of any type incoming from anyone is located.
I really like having that very simplistic operation, and I'm not sure I could give it up.
I did some searches, and there are some conversations about this, but I wasn't able to find a definitive answer. There are actually quite a few threads where people asked this and didn't get a response. I'm hoping someone with some in-depth knowledge of the Android software can provide an answer.
Can I set up the Android 2.1 OS to receive all types of messages (visual voicemail, texts, emails, gchats, mms, facebooks notifications, etc.) in one centralized location? Also, I will want to be using the gmail application. I rely pretty heavily on google services, and that is one of the reasons the EVO is particularly intriguing to me. I wouldn't want to give up that functionality.
Then, if the answer is that this cannot be done, I would love to hear about how much of a drawback it is. Have other blackberry users adjusted okay? Is it not too much of a hassle to have to go through different applications to get your incoming correspondences? Or is it a total pain that maybe should indicate to me that the EVO isn't really for me? Okay, sorry for the long post. I'm looking forward to hearing all of your feedback, and I really appreciate the help.
So I was using my the handcent sms app on my Droid today and all a sudden the person i was sending messages to was receiving the messages 3 times. Then all a sudden when i went back to text someone else my whole thread was gone and all my messages had been deleted. Then I try using the stock messaging app and obviously all my threads are deleted but messages send twice, any suggestions?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI saw a thread for an app that allows you to send delayed text messages, deliver in x number of hours, but can't recall the name. I've tried searching but haven't had any luck.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got an app that lets users send sms messages. Works great when the message < 160 characters. After that, things work less-perfectly. Seems like there are a few options here:
Manually break the message up into multiple SMSs, send each part as a separate SMS. Use the multi-part send SMS function (sendMultipartTextMessage()). Send the message as an MMS message (sendDataMessage()?).
Here's my novice take on it:
1)most well supported across carriers. Users may get mad that you just cost them N separate messages though, instead of converting to MMS or something.
2)not sure if this is supported by different carriers, and read that once the message is greater than 3 * 160 chars in length, gets converted to MMS anyway by different SMS apps - maybe stay away from this altogether.
3)not sure how to do this, and older phones might not support MMS. To send an MMS using the android SDK, do we just use the SmsManager.sendDataMessage() method?
I do not have a device. I am testing on the emulator. When I send a message(problematically and through the device) with special characters I am not able to view them properly. For Example: When I send a message from one emulator to another say "~Ha". I see only the character "~" in the other emulator.
But when I send the same message from the DDMS, I do not see the problem. Is this a problem with the emulator or am i missing somthing. sm.sendTextMessage("5556", null, "~Ha", null, null);
I have G1. I write python scripts using ASE. I have to send around 1000 SMSes using SMS API in ASE. I wonder if G1 will be able to hold up-to that? moreover, how much pause (time gap/ sleep) should I give between each message sent. Some of my colleges think that its a crazy idea. I should go for GSM modem. What do you think, is this feasible enough? Can G1 enough capable? I dont have dev version.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat class can we use to send a text message? I tried this on the emulator, 2.0:
CODE:.............
And that works ok. On my G1 running 1.5, I get a verify error, guessing because SmsManager is not available in 1.5. Maybe for 1.5 we need to use the deprecated class?:
android.telephony.gsm.SmsManager
Is that correct, or is there some other class we're supposed to use for sending text messages?
Is there any app (preferably free) that allows you to control an ERIS (android1.5)'s SMS client by sending messages from the computer while hooked up to the phone via cable. I'm just lazy and dont feel like picking up my phone half the time...
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have an Android Service which copies files to an ftp server.
While it is doing that, I want to send feedback to my Activity so the user knows what happens.
I tried implementing it using the RemoteMessengerServiceSample code, but I have a problem ... All messages I send during the ftp transfer arrive at my Activity the moment the copy operation is finished ... not message by message while the copy job runs as I would like.
Is there any way to fix this? Maybe i'm using the wrong method for sending messages to my activity?
Is there already functionality similar to the push registry or wireless messaging API in J2ME implemented in Android? Or at least plans to do so?I have been looking at this issue for a while, because in a corporate environment it is essential to be able to push information out, or trigger actions via SMS or other connections.I have successfully sent an SMS between emulator instances, and successfully received an SMS by using a BroadcastReceiver on another emulator instance. I have also been able to use SmsManager. sendDataMessage to send a data message to a port on another emulator instance, but in this case the BroadcastReceiver is never triggered. This seems to be the closest the API's get to what I'm looking for.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI get a poor signal at home (did on my Nokia), so half the time when I send a text, there won't be a signal to send it. I always then go and put my phone in a place where there is a signal and leave it..
With my Nokias, the phone would send it fairly quickly (usually within 10-15 minutes).
The message is still sat in Handcent with the whirling round icon next to it. If I copy the message, and resend it, whilst there's a signal, away it goes. I can't find any way to force the send when I want, and I left the resend in a signal area for 1hr 15 mins and it still hadn't sent..
I'm trying to send messages generated by Google Protocol Buffer code via a simple HTTP scheme to a server. What I have currently have implemented is here (forgive the obvious incompletion):
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
String url = "http://192.168.1.69:8888/sdroidmarshal";
HttpPost postRequest = new HttpPost(url);
String proto = offers.build().toString();
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(1);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("sdroidmsg", proto));
postRequest.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs)); try { ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler = new BasicResponseHandler(); String responseBody = client.execute(postRequest, responseHandler);} catch (Throwable t) { }I'm not that experienced with communications over the internet and no more so with HTTP - while I do understand the basics... So my question, before I blindly develop the rest of the application around this, is whether or not this is particularly efficient? I ideally would like to keep messages small and I assume toString() adds some unnecessary formatting.
I'm writing an app that stores secret (encrypted+hidden using steg) information in MMS messages. Obviously I need a way to test this, in particular, sending and receiving MMS messages. I have one Android phone, a Nexus One. I know that MMS's cannot be sent between emulator instances, but other than using up loads of MMS credit, is there another way of testing out MMS sending/receiving without just spending loads of money?

I looked for a mms option when texting and didn't find one. I am using Handcent and shapewriter for a keyboard, but also looked on the stock messaging app and didn't see one there either.
